31 Days and Counting...

31 days until Stitchville's Spring Fling! I have another Drawn Thread finish to share with you.

This is the Sampler Game Board....




I started this piece in 2005. After stitching on it for awhile I decided to switch out my linen, from 25 count to 36 count. I also stitched all the motifs in the same direction. It took me a long time to finish this one. I would lose interest in it for awhile and then I would come back to it. Finally finished it in 2011. It's one of my favorite Drawn Thread finishes!

Such a lovely piece! I have this one in the stash but haven't started it yet. Good idea to turn all the motifs in the same direction!! Laura

Its wonderful. I have the Monopoly board sitting there half stitched. Maybe I'll drag it out before XMas and finish it too.

This is gorgeous!!!!!
To tell you the truth, this is one of the first charts I bought, but haven't even started yet. Seeing this makes me want to pull it out again.
Thanks for sharing~
